Part 18 of 21 • Results Encyclopedia • Covers: Chapter 12 — Results of Dasas (Articles 131–138)
The Varsha Dasa periods (calculated in Part 7) determine when during the year specific results manifest. Each planet's Dasa brings results consistent with its strength, house position, and the yogas it forms.
How to use: First identify the current Dasa from your annual chart calculations. Then check the Dasa lord's strength (strong/moderate/weak), its sign placement for sign-specific results, and also consider which houses it rules and occupies. The results below are general indications that must be blended with the specific chart configuration.
Lagna Dasa (Period of the Ascendant)
Powerful Lagna: Riches, wealth, promotion in career, governmental favors, and honors befitting one's position.
